I wanted a tablet which was more convenient than carrying around my laptop for business. Had a choice of three top brands when I went into the store. I chose the Toshiba Excite. This was one of the best choices I have made. Excite is portable, light weight, easy to read and excellent for taking charges as my customers can easily see their purchase and have no problem writing signature. The Toshiba Excite is absolutely the best buy I have made in the past year.
